when the corvina faded out of the sea I was pretty bummed because I loved that desolate empty place. I got in right at the end of that amazing fishery and fished of a big windsurfing board with a milk crate on the front. First the mullet then sargo, croaker, and then the vinas died out. Glad the good old tilapia are still around. Those are a fun sports fish, hard fight, good looking, and super tastey. And Tinhman, it's just out the 8 freeway on the way to El Centro. Big ass salty lake, 38 miles long and 8-12 miles wide. Can't miss it. Mike

Looks like you were at North Shore Marina. I remember camping at Cleveland Street & pulling in 2# plus tilapia all day. But the stink during a die off & the heat/sun on a pale ass Brit like me.

Goodmemories. Glad to see there is still life there.

How was water level looking? Last year you could have walked from Hazard Unit out to Red Hill. Pretty sad how low it was getting. Hoping the big rain year has the sea up some for this years duck season.

I am constantly in Ocotillo wells and pass the Salton Sea all the time. I was told by a non fisherman that the fish there were not fit to eat, but again he is a non fisherman. So I never thought about even trying... So they are good eating then?

That would be a fun run, take the trucks out catch some fish and head back to camp for the fish fry... ha ha
